Internet Kraken posted:I'm not just talking about the ending. From what I've read a lot of your choices across games have little impact or flat out don't matter. Combine that with the glitchiness and horrid ending and I'm not eager to give Bioware 60 bucks for this. At the end of the game? Your choices don't mean a drat thing, but the game makes a ton of references to your choices in previous games through out. Hell, some ME2 squad members even remember the job you game them in the Suicide Mission.

RBA Starblade posted:I hear that the extended cut DLC will be altering it so you don't need to play multiplayer to get the best endings. Is this true? If so has it been announced what you need to do to get them, or is it just lower score values for them all? FYI, the 'best' ending that you get from playing multi-player is just a five second FMV that adds nothing to the plot.

I'd say the Hammerhead apparently having the same amount of health at level 1 and level 30 while enemies do more damage is pretty poor design.

CPFortest posted:The combat isn't great, but honestly the equipment management system in ME1 is way worse. I was considering picking up the trilogy pack on PS3 so I could play the game while kicking back on the couch (why the gently caress doesn't the PC version have controller support?), but then I saw that the they're still using the Xbox interface for the inventory. The PC version's is still pretty bad, but holy poo poo that was loving awful on the 360.

Ineffiable posted:Maybe I'll make an exception and buy Leviathan as well. I know I don't want the Omega DLC, and Bring Down the Sky while awesome is probably not worth getting if the game doesn't come with it already. The PS3 version of Mass Effect 1 already comes with Bring Down the Sky, Pinnacle Station wasn't ported because it was poo poo (also they lost the source code, but mostly because it was poo poo). The PS3 version of ME2 comes with all the 'real' DLC apart from Arrival. The stuff like gun packs and appearance packs are sold separately.

Also, watched that new Mass Effect anime yesterday. Christ what a disaster. It's not too awful at first, but it goes way the gently caress down hill when the collectors show up. Contradicts a bunch of stuff from the games and the collectors are twice as tall as a human for some reason. EDIT: Whoops, that wasn't the edit button.

Haw. I just noticed that someone hosed up the parental control levels for all three games on the PS3 in the UK. All three games are level 9, but none of the games are rated high enough for that. Level 9 is for ages 18 and up, ME1 is rated 12, ME2 & 3 are rated 15.

Whelp, I guess my playthrough has just been significantly extended. PS3 just hard-locked during an auto save and apparently the game puts all the saves in one file so all of my saves are gone, even though I've been keeping multiple in the event that something like this happened. Had just finished the Citidel after Tuchunka, so that's what, 15 hours? At least all my multiplayer stuff is safe.

Quick gameplay question: The squad ammo powers. If you take the upgrade that gives other squadmates the ammo bonus at a reduced effectiveness, does it overwrite their own ammo power? I've never tried it in ME3 because I remember using it in ME2 just left squaddies fighting the effect and trying to put up their power while mine was overwriting theirs.

The mod pretty much fixed my main complaint about the game and now I'm happily shooting Cerberus dudes in the face again. Really?

I've done multiple trilogy playthroughs since the game came out. Or at least tried to, I normally peter out early in ME1. God that game has aged abysmally. I honestly don't understand people who won't touch the entire series because of the ending.
